Mortenson sees concurrent resolution as vehicle to start discussions about proposed constitutional amendment that would legalize abortion in South Dakota

Next week is the fourth week of this year’s legislative session in South Dakota.

House Majority Leader Representative Will Mortenson of Fort Pierre says among his top priorities for the week is a proposed Constitutional Amendment dealing with abortion.

Mortenson hopes the resolution proposed gets stakeholders talking about the issue.

Mortenson wants South Dakota voters to understand exactly what’s being proposed.

Again, Weiland is the primary organizer behind the effort to put the amendment legalizing abortion on the November 2024 ballot.
